What You Should Know before Trekking

Submit a Trekking Registration Form

Be sure to submit a trekking registration form before starting out.

Be sure to submit a trekking registration form before starting out. When filling out the form, explain your equipment and plans objectively. If you become lost after submitting a trekking registration form, the subsequent search will be easier, and the possibility of being discovered is increased.
Have the commonsense to create a trekking plan appropriate for your abilities, and to change the plan and turn back as necessary depending on your physical condition, the time, and the weather.
